We use the Favro MCP connector (favro.com/mcp) with Claude to keep our project cards up to date, for example by adding meeting background notes to existing cards.
We have run into a limitation: the update_card tool only accepts the full card description (detailedDescription), which replaces the existing one. To add a single new section, the whole description has to be read and written back. This causes two problems for us:
  1. Inline comments anchored to specific parts of the description lose their anchors, even when that text itself has not changed. This breaks the discussion threads our team relies on.
  2. If someone edits the card at the same time, their changes can be overwritten.
We would like to request:
  • An append/insert operation for card descriptions in the MCP connector, e.g. adding content to the end of the description or under a specific heading without replacing the rest.
  • Alternatively, description updates that preserve inline comment anchors for unchanged text.
Is either of these on your roadmap? Until then, is there a recommended way to add content to a card description through the MCP connector or API without breaking existing inline comments?
